Walkable, historic community near Southside BeltLine
Peoplestown is a historically Black neighborhood characterized by its generational neighbors and community organizations. Within walking distance of the Southside BeltLine, schools and mixed-used retail spaces, the community draws renters from Georgia State University and new families. "I moved here before the BeltLine. It used to be a food desert, but seeing the changes has been mind-blowing," says resident Marc Brenner, a real estate agent with EXP Commercial. “I have had a great experience living here.” With a history of infrastructural challenges, the community is seeing new developments, including the upcoming Summerhill Bus Rapid Transit project. The area offers a mix of new construction and 20th-century houses three miles from downtown. Local organizations like Emmaus House provide community support as Peoplestown navigates change while striving to protect its heritage.
Picnics and gatherings nearby at Grant Park
D.H. Stanton Park is on the Atlanta BeltLine’s Southside Trail. Spearheaded by a community effort, the park transformed from a small playground to an 8-acre recreational hub with a splash pad and shaded playgrounds. The park is part of a trail system built from an old railroad corridor that spans 22 miles across 45 neighborhoods. On Crew Street, Four Corners Park is home to the Rick McDevitt Youth Center, a nonprofit organization offering academic, emotional and infrastructural support. Grant Park is just 2 miles north, home to Zoo Atlanta. "Grant Park is heavily wooded. People are always hanging out or having barbecues or family reunions," Brenner says.
The Grant Farmer’s Market is a go-to
The city is establishing new businesses as part of an initiative to revitalize the Atlanta BeltLine Corridor. In the summer of 2023, a new Publix opened in Summerhill, less than a mile away from Peoplestown. "Summerhill is next to us and, Georgia Avenue is filled with restaurants like Little Bear, and Halfway Crooks is a great brewery," Brenner says. Peoples Town Coffee Bar serves locally roasted brews on Milton Avenue. Peoplestown is a walkable distance to The Beacon Atlanta, a commercial district a few blocks away and home to the Grant Farmers Market. On Ridge Avenue, Terminal South is a proposed mixed-use project that will house several local restaurants, retailers and new housing.
The Summerhill Bus Rapid Transit project will connect downtown
Interstate 85 is easily accessible and Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority’s (MARTA) Summerhill Bus Rapid Transit project aims to connect the neighborhood to downtown. “It’s really nice to see the increase in public transportation. I think it’s going to make traffic a lot better,” Brenner says. The project will develop bus-only lanes with fewer traffic signals to make the commute downtown faster. In the neighborhood, Southside Medical Center offers preventative and routine services, and Grady Memorial Hospital is 3 miles north. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is 8 miles south. According to the CAP Index Crime Score, Peoplestown has a 7 out of 10 rating, higher than the national average of 4. The Peoplestown Neighborhood Association and Revitalization Corporation meet weekly to keep the community informed.
